摘要

This report summarizes research completed for National Institute of Justice (NIJ) grant (No. 2008-IJ-CX-0025), which funded a joint effort between New Hampshires Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services (BEAS) and the National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD) to construct and validate an actuarial risk assessment. The resulting assessment is completed by Adult Protective Services (APS) workers to help inform decisions related to the likelihood of future maltreatment or self-neglect. Other public service agencies, including child protection and corrections, have implemented simple, objective, and reliable actuarial risk assessment instruments to help workers identify high-risk clients and prioritize them for service intervention at the close of an investigation. The research question was whether an actuarial risk assessment could serve a similar purpose for APS agencies by enhancing their abilities to reduce maltreatment of the most vulnerable clients.The goal of the grant was to determine whether an actuarial risk assessment could be constructed that validly and reliably classified individuals reported for adult maltreatment or self-neglect, and whether workers and other agency staff would find the risk assessment useful in practice. Initiated in 2008, Phase I involved a longitudinal study of 763 individuals investigated for allegations of self-neglect or maltreatment between March 1 and September 30, 2009, then observed for a standardized six-month period to measure subsequent reports to BEAS.
